Raining Sunshine

Hot air balloons freckle early morning skies
playfully dancing across the lips
of dawns waking smile

Nature reaches across her horizon
into the discontented corners of my mind

Teetering on the edge of sanity
I ponder the many steps
it took me to get here

In the distance day darkens quickly
as an Arizona summer storm moves in

Sunbeams defiantly break through many clouds
stretching beyond the boom of thunder
and the strike of lightening
to extend a courteous hand out
asking rain if she would like to dance

Soon the moments become as damp
as the depths of my soul
and I realize times soars across eternity
an arrow straight and true
ever moving onward
even when it seems to be standing still

And while I linger here drenched
still traveling and retracing the paths
that brought me

Skies part and sun dominates once again
even though rain is still determined to fall

Reminding me no matter
the road walked
the mistakes made
the hope lost
just like the rain still falling
it's not in me to ever give up

I will always be that one
who trudges on past yesterday
into the uncertainty of today
with a heart full of hope
and a stance ready for any foe

And just as it began to rain in earnest
a contentment filled my mind
as the promise of a new tomorrow
inspired my feet to take that first step
towards a new path leading
to a not so frightening future,
after all
